- 14. The PSO Count System 2. We will count the number of secondary players from the nose of the center to the Option side of our play. It’s going to be a two or three count. • This will determine if we need a motion or a swing pass from the slot. • We have already determined Force, Alley and Pitch responsibilities 1. 2 Count= 2 Secondary players to the option side. • Swing Pass by option side slot. • No Motion needed. • Don’t block Force player. Force him to make a decision.
